Unpatriotism & Restless Face Syndrome

Big News

President Bush and congressional leaders on Wednesday refused to compromise on Iraq. They knew it would be a tough day when the President walked in with his sleeves rolled up two laps...
- And wearing his new 10-gallon green beret.

President Bush said, "This no time for politics as usual." Which politicians always say when it's politics as usual.

My fellow Americans, what we have here is a serious lack of patriotism. "Unpatriotism" is the spirit Americans display when we can't find an enemy to dislike as much as we dislike each other.

Taxpayers in the Northeast swamped by a powerful storm just before the filing deadline can delay filing their federal returns for another week. They'll remember the storm of ought-7 for years to come -- the storm that was so bad nobody could pay their taxes.

Do NOT Deduct Cremation Costs!

Big News

A powerful nor'easter pounded the East with wind and pouring rain Sunday, grounding airlines and threatening to create some of the worst coastal flooding in 14 years. Now that's scary. You could wake up with your PJs full of jellyfish.
